Village and Tribal Scholarships
Funding administered on behalf of participating villages and tribes for their members.
Program Overview
The CIRI Foundation proudly administers specialized scholarship funds directly on behalf of several participating villages, tribes, and native organizations within the Cook Inlet region.
These specific funds are ring-fenced exclusively for the tribal members or original enrollees of those participating entities.
To simplify the process for our students, TCF utilizes a unified application system. Eligible students can apply for both their general CIRI funding and their specific village/tribal fund simultaneously.
